(uncharitably paraphrased) “No we're not attempting to take over the project” and later “join our discord where we are attempting to take over the project”.

Would you ignore or listen to the most experienced developer on the team?
I you may overestimate the quality of the notes, as well as the time we have available, and underestimate the tech debt and the time that is needed to become familiar with a code base with such highly specific requirements as well as low level aspects. At a volunteer pace.
Hey, anyone on the NixOS subreddit. Note that no one from the NixOS community moderates the avenue. It is not an official location for NixOS discussions. And yes, individuals are now adding more FUD to the fire they lit. Again and again. Froggo's sad and hot.
Stupendously, carefully defining the scope of a request didn't stop the other party from making up a larger unintended scope to try and shut down the discussion.
Abandoning the community because of the loud voices of a few individuals going against the wishes of the community is giving them all of it on a platter.
Fight.
Ask for change.
While energy intensive, it is not okay to let a few people's vile act of shitting on the front porch win. Come fetch the hose in the shed. We can hose it clean.

Anyways, those are my thoughts about that.
Hope this helps!
@samueldr Well repart's mission does extend to producing disk images nowadays. And the people working on it are really interested in making repart (and mkosi, which uses repart) a generic enough OS image builder that all the distros use it. They've been happy to add what's missing. Perhaps it's worth a look. I probably won't be doing CLI/TUI/GUI stuff any time soon, if ever, though
I was also going to plug genimage but it looks like you already have it starred on GH
@samueldr And I definitely relate to "things are broken enough that it should all just be redone, and it'll be easier than dealing with all the cruft"... Seems like I'm fighting the urge to rework something on the regular, anyway 🙃
If days became 48 hours, I don't know if that would be a blessing or a curse
If When you end-up blowing some WIP stuff away via a bad git manip, nix-diff can help you out.
For example, take a known good revision's store path for your NixOS system build, and nix-diff $that /run/current-system. Paired with nixos-rebuild test, you can try and guesstimate what you need to do to end-up in the same previous state.
Seriously... the Linux Foundation apparently decided to subscribe me to all its newsletters in the past few days, and the unsubscribe link is "expired" (broken, really).
I never subscribed to any of them, and I know the source of why they got an e-mail address. Yes, some other org somehow is responsible here. Ugh.
